THE YEAR 1939-40-- October 2. D. D.: -Well as a wise man said uIn union there is strength, and the Freshmen today proved it. They get to keep the flag, but they had to go through the belt line. The flag looked a mess fafter the Home Ec. gils working sol, but they proudly hung it in the assembly. Wayne Jeffries, our president, made a good speech, about Mr. Heape's military train ing. The Juniors were defeated by the Sophomores in the tournament by a score of 18 to 17. 5. D. D.: The F. F. A. boys have their initiation to- night. If all Ifve heard is true I pity the uGreen Hands.H The Latin Club is going on a picnic to-g night at the park. 4. D. D.: Hooray! -We won the tournament over the Sophomores by a score of ll to 5. No school to- morrow or Friday for us, but goody for the teachers. They will have to sit still and be lectured to for a change. 5. D.

D. D.: There was a farewell party at noon for Bobby Calvert. I believe B obby hates to leave as much as we hate to see him go. The Freshmen had a picnic at Rock Springs this afternoon, and I heard tell Mr. Heape certainly attracted a lot of attention with his cute riding outfit. , 15. D. 'D.: Ho hum: unlucky Friday iam and right y it is. It turned cold. B obby Clavert left for Salem High. 16. D. D.: Gee, am I tired. I need a ncoken to ease my fevered brain.

The freshmen were defeated by Sophmores 21 to 7. D.D.: This is rather late to be writing but I had to tell you about the Commerce Club party. It was 1 Ubumu party at the Y. We had sweet potatoes and apples, coffee and weiners. Then we played London Bridge and Rotten TWT. Jenkins and Mr. Ramsey were the life of the party. Silly things!! We played Rin Tin Tin too--you should have seen Miss Stewart blush. - 1 D.D.: I think our teachers are pretty swell.. I wonder if I'm sprouting wings. We are divided into two groups and get points for grades and activities At the end of the Semester the losing side has to give a party. I'd hate to be Miss Stewart or Miss Brown--one of them is go ng to have to give it. .
